SUMMARY:Pick-Up on Four Shafter
DESCRIPTION:For the month of April\, weaving workshops will focus on pick-up techniques that can be used on three different weave structures: beiderwand\, mock damask\, and double weave. Pick-up is the process in which a warp pattern is picked up with a stick in order to weave patterns not otherwise possible on threading and tie-ups alone. When pick-up is used\, surface design possibilities are endless on just a simple four-shaft loom. \nAlthough there will be no loom set-up\, the weave structure\, threading\, and tie-up will be explained in detail at the beginning of class. Students will weave a project using the pick-up technique and leave with a finished sample. \nAll levels welcome. \n10 am – 3 pm \nSunday\, April 7 – Beiderwand Pick-up \nCost: $210 \n

SUMMARY:Japanese Mending as Utility and Embellishment with Jody Alexander
DESCRIPTION:Japanese mending techniques are used to repair and strengthen garments and other textile items. But\, when left visible the repairs are also decorative and add texture\, line\, and color. In this workshop\, students will create a sampler of mending techniques seen in Japanese boro textiles and will then move on to repairing or embellishing a garment or other textile item of their choice. Each student will bring an item that needs repair\, or embellishing\, and will apply one or more of the mending techniques learned in the class. \nThe instructor will bring her collection of Japanese boro textiles for inspiration. Students should bring a textile item that has a worn area that needs re-enforcing\, a hole or tear that requires repair\, a stain that needs covering\, or an item that simply could use some stitchery embellishment.

SUMMARY:Pick-Up on Four Shafter
DESCRIPTION:For the month of April\, weaving workshops will focus on pick-up techniques that can be used on three different weave structures: beiderwand\, mock damask\, and double weave. Pick-up is the process in which a warp pattern is picked up with a stick in order to weave patterns not otherwise possible on threading and tie-ups alone. When pick-up is used\, surface design possibilities are endless on just a simple four-shaft loom. \nAlthough there will be no loom set-up\, the weave structure\, threading\, and tie-up will be explained in detail at the beginning of class. Students will weave a project using the pick-up technique and leave with a finished sample. \nAll levels welcome. \n10 am – 3 pm \nSunday\, April 21 – Double Weave Pick-up \nCost: $210 \n

SUMMARY:"Loved Clothes Last" Mending Bar
DESCRIPTION:Each year the United States sends 12.8 million tons of textile waste to landfill. As style turnover has accelerated\, so has our appetite for new\, trendy clothing. Today we buy 4 times as much clothing as we did two decades ago\, yet we get 36% less wear out of our garments before we discard them. \n  \nInspired to empower consumers and keep clothing out of landfill\, the Sustainable Fashion Alliance has partnered with Fibershed and California College of the Arts to present a unique “Mending Bar” experience designed to equip attendees with valuable tools that will help prolong the wearability of their loved pieces of clothing. \n  \nTaking place during Fashion Revolution Week in San Francisco\, the event will feature five mending stations to join at your leisure. Onsite mending stations include: hand mending\, machine mending and altering\, knit darning\, creative embroidery and an upcycle station\, sponsored by Bella Notte Linens\, where attendees can make drawstring bags from a variety of fabric scraps. In addition to light snacks and Revive Kombucha\, attendees can show off their renewed and repaired duds in our “Loved Clothes Last” photo booth by Paige Green Photography. \n  \nWhat to bring (1-3 pieces): clothing with rips\, tears or split seams\, clothing that you’d like to learn to alter\, clothing with stains or discoloration that you’d like to hide with embroidery \n  \nTore your favorite jeans? Repair them with decorative Boro and Sashiko Japanese mending techniques \n  \nFound a hole or snag in your knit sweater? Darn them with new knitting skills \n  \nNot getting use out of an ill fitting dress or pair of trousers? Hem and/or alter to customize to your unique shape \n  \nHave a stain on a loved top? Hide with beautiful embroidery techniques

Each student will leave with one finished wall hanging\, one wooden weaving loom\, a handout with a recap of the skills\, terms\, and resources discussed in class\, and the skill to design and produce additional weaving projects on their loom at home! \n  \nPre-requisite: None. This class is ideal for total beginners with no experience. If you have taken our Intro to Weaving: Woven Tapestry Edition class\, please note that this bootcamp class teaches a different style of weaving\, uses a different loom\, and utilizes thicker yarns for the final wall hanging. This bootcamp is a fantastic compliment to the skills taught in the Intro to Weaving class\, but by no means requires any prior weaving experience. \n  \nSupplies Needed: None. We have done all the legwork of sourcing the hard-to-find yarns\, roving\, and a simple wooden loom. You will receive a loom that measures 17″ X 23″\, and is simple to disassemble for easy storage. These wooden looms usually run around $30 retail. Various yarn colorways will be offered as well. \n  \nThe rules / important stuff: We have a NO EXCEPTIONS 72 HOUR CANCELLATION policy – this includes cancellation\, re-books\, gift certificates\, moving classes\, etc. For more information on canceling a class\, please read our cancellation policy. All classes are 21+ unless you email for permission. If any questions\, please email us at info AT workshopsf DOT org. \n  \nInstructor Bio: At a young age Keyaira’s grandmother taught her how to sew. In 2012 she used this skill to open her Etsy Shop\, featuring handmade bags. Due to her love of home design\, she also taught herself how to weave. In 2016 she transitioned her shop into customizable leather work & began selling her weavings. In 2017 she began doing more complex weavings & completed her first installation piece. She currently splits her time between teaching and running her own business as a maker\, marketer and distributor; and creating commissioned pieces. You can learn more about her and purchase her work at www.keyaiira.com.
